EVENING BULLETIN.

THE SECRETARY OF WAR.
Secretary Stanton is quietly in possession
of his office, and the work of his department
is moving on as smoothly as though there
was no disturbing element in the affairs of
government. Invigorated in body by his
greatly needed relaxation, and confirmed in
spirit by the hearty endorsement of Congress
and the congratulations of all loyal people,
Mr.. Stanton was never in better spirits, or
better fitted to cope with the "rowers of
(tartness" than at the present time. It is so
elearly the will of the people and the de-
Inand 'of imperative circumstances that he'
Isbell'remain where he is, that it not likely
'that he 'will either consult his personal
vonsfort,orindulge the wishes of his enemies,
ITV. resignation of his post of duty. '
Many persons, even among the friends
.of the Republican party, are disturbed by the
motion that there is something dreadfully
"indelicate" in Mr. Stanton's present posi
'tion, and that he4ought, therefore, to resign.
'rfathismotion the answers two-fold. First,
the pcoition is not indelicate; and second, if
it were, the issues at stake are not to be re,
solved by meat cations of delicacy. Mr.
Stalltoll holdshis office 'by as clear a legal
tilksas that of 'Mr. Seward or 'any' other
' Catinet officer. Mr. Johnson made a formal
attempt, to dislodge him in accordance with
' - the-law, and 7 :failed. Mr. Stanton therefore
remains where the law places him and
continues in the discharge of his
public duties,' precisely as he would have done
V' he. had not been• suspended. The personal
) relations of the Secretary of. War to the Pre
sident are confined to the intercourse arising
from Cabinet meetings, and in times of peace
the counsels of The Secretary of War are not
absolutely indispensable to the President.
They are te very small part'of the Secretary's
business. The .administration of the War
Office, in all its wide ramifications, occupies
his time and thoughts, and may be and is car
ried forward almost as easily and successfully
as if the President were, for the time, out of
existence. Mr. Stanton, in his own-Depart
ment, acting under the strictest sanctions of
law, minding his own business and • minding
it well, has no occasion to reproach himself
• or to be reproached with indelicacy.
But even if the Secretary felt that his pros
. ent position was an indelicate one, it may
well be questioned whether he would be jus
tified in abandoning it simply on that ac
- count. There are times and occasions when
public men must be governed by even higher
considerations than those of personal deli
cacy.. In such times and under such an ocCa
sion Mr. Stanton is now placed. He is the
sole remaining representative in the Execu
tive department of the Government of the
prinalples upon which the Administration
was elected. The President and the rest of
his Cabinet have long ago abandoned
those principles, and devoted them
selves to their destruction. The loyal senti
ment of the people has no exponent in the
Executive branch of the Government save in
Air. Stanton, and it relies ,upon him with
unbounded trust. The times are full of
agitation.and anxiety. The great issues of
the rebellion remain unsettled. -The problem
of reconstruction, apparently.so simple at the
first, has proved, under the maladministration
of Andrew Johnson, a most difficult one. All
the elements of disloyalty have been stirred
into new life, and everything which was
thought tribe secured by the force of arms
for the Union is now seen to be in peril.
Congress holds its end of Penrikylvania ave-
nue as firmly as ever; but _at the other
end the enemy is in possession
of all the •vorks, save where Mr. Stanton
still stands-to his post, and where General
Grant holds his headquarters. -Even the Su
preme Court is not to be depended upon, un
less the Senate shall speedily pass the bill
which the House has enacted for the protec
tion of the institutions of the country against
the present unreasonable practices of the ju
diciary.
For Mr. Stanton to abandon his post volun
tarily, in the present state of affairs, for no
better reason than that some over-sensitive
people fancy that it is indelicate for him to
remain, would be a mere piece of silly senti
.mentality. =-:- Mr:- --.convictions - :--of
duty rest on deeper foundations, and he un
derstands his responsibilities too well, and
appreciates the confidence which the people
repose in him too Sully, to resign a position
which, however irksome and unpleasant it
may-be to him personally, is of too much
national importance to be surrendered into
the hands of the enemy.
CHARLES KEAN.
The death of Charles Kean, the well.tknotvn
actor, is announced in a cable -telegram from
,Londonydated yesterday. Some months ago
he had a sudden attaek.of apoplexy ancs par
tial paralysis, and he has probably succumbed
,to a second attack. Although usually known
as Charles ,Kean, ho was christened Charles
John Kean. ,He was the.only son of the great
y•datund Kern, and was born in Waterford,
Irekmd, January 18th, His age was,
therefore, a few days over fifty-seven years.
He IrLas educated at Eton, but when sixteen
years old his father withdrew him from the
college because he refused to accept a cadet
ship in India; the son preferring to remain in
Englana to take care of his mother, who lead
been compelled by ill-treatment to live away
from her husband.
The yot4ng,man then determined to go ou
the stage, and made his debut October Ist,
1127, at Dmry i_dine Theatre, in the part of
- "Young Norval," in Home's , tragedy of
-Doug4cof. lie was only tolerably success
ul, name, which- WWI _expected to _aid
3aiin d provoking Unfavorable comparison with
his father. Ile persevered, however, in the
jarofessivn, and in 18:lo came to America.
where ho remained for several years; and
went hack to England so numb. improved,
that he tools it position as a leading actor,
which be has ever since maintained. In
1839 he again visited the United States, and,
in 1845 be married Miss Ellen Ttee, then the
fiuestactress on the English stage. In t 845,
with his wife, he again came to this country,
and they made together a long and successful
tour.
In 1851, after a number .of protita%)le 4; n
plipMents, Mr. Kean became the Jusee of
the Princess's Theatre, London, where for a
number of years he delighted the lovers of le
gitimate drama by a succession of revivals of
Sbakupearean plays, brought out in a style
previously unequalled. Ring John, Mac
beth, Richard IL, Richard 111., Henry .
VIII., and The Tempest, were the princi
pal plays thus revived. But Mr. Kean also
distinguished himself by his prcduction of
the Sarde p apatus, of Byron, Faust, The
Corsican Brothers, Bubver's Mortal', and
especially the drama of Louis XL • In the
latter piece he created the character of the
eccentric king, as it is delineated by Walter
Scott and others, and it will always be re
membered as his greatest and most original
personation.
Having retired from the Princess's Theatre,
and from the stage generally for several years,
Mr. and Mrs. Kean again came to the
United States about three years ago, and
played a brilliant series of farewell en
gagements in all the principal cities. His
health was even then feeble, and after his
return to Eneand, he did net again appear
upon the stage. He was not a man of great
dramatic genius; but he was a careful student
and did everything so conscientiously, that he
secured the admiration of all who heard him.
In private life he was exemplary, and his
prudencelin 'business affairs won him a hand
sorne fortune. Although he has been virtually
dead Ad.the stage for some time, his actual
'death will cause regret among all admirers of
the legitimate drama and the best school of
acting. His wife, who survives him, was
seven years his senior.
, The. New York „Times very complacently
states that the • citizens of the overgrown
town upon the Hudson last year spent the sum
of three millions •of dollars at the various
places of amusement, theatres, operas, con
cert saloons and such like. If the show
people of,the "metropolis" had only resident.
New Yorkers to , depend upon for support,'
there would be -a beggarly account of empty
boxes and there would be collapsed , treasu
ries to fret the souls of fearful managers; the
"Black Crook," the "Devil's Auction," 'the
"White Fawn," the Bowery or Barnum
might attract paying audiences; but any
exhibition that would make any pre
tence to genuine art, intellectuality, or
even common decency,would perish for want
of support. The fact is, the show people of
New York put the entire country under con
tribution for their support, and it is about as
cool a piece of assumption to say that New
'York pays threemillions of dollars a year for
its amusements, as it would be to assert that
the revenues of the hotels at Cape May or
Saratoga are derived from the resident popu
lation of those interesting villages.
In •Common Council, yesterday, Mr. Wag
ner submitted a resolution instructing the
Committee on Police to report an ordinance
requiring all flag stone and iron:pavements to
be ribbed at right angles with the line of
the street. This is a good move, but it, does
.not go far enough. The cubical stone blocks
with which some of the streets are paved are
scarcely less slippery than the flags at the
crossings, and they all cause great suffering to
the poor horses.. These faithful beasts have
troubles enough to endure in the shape of
overwork and excessive burthens, without
compelling them to drag heavy loads over
smooth surfaces, where their polished shoes
cannot obtain a secure foothold. There is
great room for improvement in this whole
business of paving, and merciful men have
cause for rejoicing in every step that is made
towards reform.
Yesterday, in the State Legislature an eight
hour bill was introduced. It is an exact
copy of the New York law. The latter is a
perfect nullity so far as its practical opera
tion is concerned, and its passage cannot, by
any possibility, better the condition of the
class that its projectors profess to be desirous
of helping. Several 'States .have passed
similar laws and in every case they go for
nothing, for there are laws more potent than
any that can come of legislation, that control
them. ' We hOpe that our legislators will
have the courage to refuse to pass a law that
can have no practical vitality, or to lend
themselves to a cheap and meaningless
demagogueism.
The lecture by Professor Agassiz,_ an
nounced a•few days ago, to be delivered be
fore the Teacher.s' Institute of this city, has
been postponed until Wednesday evening,
the t;th of Yebruary. It is so rare a thing
now for this distinguished gentleman to quit
his absorbing scientific labors and appear as
a lecturer, that our citizens will be sure to
avail themselves of this opportunity of hear
ing him.
A SPLENDID CENTENARY OFFERING.—Daring
the year 1866, the Cenfertnary year of American
Methodism, over seven million dollars were con
tributcd by the Methodist Church, principally
fcir educational purposes. Among other princely
offerings should be mentioned the splendid
edifice dedicated yesterday at Wilmington, Del.,
under the naive of Grace Church, by a colony
trom St. Paul's M. E. Church. From the humble
little meeting-houses in which American Method
isin-presented its pioneer work, it has advanced
by rap' d strides, until it is now rearing its tem
ples of -worship upon a scale of architectural
magnificence unsurpassed by auy religious de
norninatiou in the country. Grace Church,
Wilmington, erected at a • cost of ittioo,-
000, is cue of the most beautiful church
structures in the - United States. It is in
the Decorated Gothic style, and is built of
three kinds of stone, the base being the familiar
Connecticut brown stone. The body of the
building is a peculiar serpentine rock, quarried
near Chadd's Ford, on the Braudywine, and of a
light pea green, dappled with black and brown.
The doors, and windows are dressed with New
Btunsniek drab stone, and the combination of
effects, while very . singular,_ 43_ harmonious and
beautiful. The spire is one-hundred mid eighty
six feet high, and is covered, as. is the roof, with
tastefully variegated slate. The windows are
very hue specimens of stained glass, and the
Whole interior decorations and furniture are in
lieeping,vvith the. striking character of the exte- ,
ripr. A splendid organ has been nearly coin
plettd by Roberts, of Frankford.
Spars building as this possesses a public in
terest, not only as illustrating theustonishing ad
vance of American Methodism, in wealth, enter
prise, taste and liberality, but also as indicating
thi! rapid groirth and suhstarrtial 'prosP , Tity o

THE PRESIDENT &MD GEN. GRANT.
' Very Important statements.
[Washington correspondence N. Y. Times.]
After an incubation of three days, the Presi
dent has supplied his newspaper gentlemen in
waiting - with a fresh batch of statements and
charges on the subject of General Grant's action
on the War Department question. This fresh
assault is designed to counteract the effect of the
plain, irrefutable facts set:forth in the Times of
Monday, but they do not make the case any
plainer nor the President's position any better.
Tiny only prove that the discomfiture of His Ex
cellency is so complete that ho must console
himself by asking public attention to his griev
ances. There le no need of going aucw into the
denial by detail of the many skillful misrepre
sentAtiqus wit,h which the• President socks to stir
rotWthunse. The testimony of third parties
who were never present at any of the interviews
until after the thing was over is of no avail to
show ghat Gen. Grant agreed to do before that,
no matter how highly respectable such witnesses
may be. •
Tho whole question is contained in the circum
stance of theinterview of Saturday, the 11th inst.
That intervew was one of General Grant's own
seeking. The President did not send for him, as
has been stated. Gen. Grant sought him for the
express purpose of settling the matter with Ludt;
and just prior to leaving his office that 'day, he
announced both to his Chief of Staff and to Gon.
Sherman his intention of visiting;the President,
and stated, his Purpolie to be to pOSltively inform
Mr. Johnson of what his views , of the Tenure of
OMR act wore, and what his action would be as
.11 consequence.
This General Grant did. He saw the President
Saturtay Afternoon, stated - his views of the 'Jim,
and plainly told him the line of action which it
seemed to him he must pursue. The President
vet him by a pettifogging., argument,about the
tiv and rat attempt to evade t he , responsibilltY of
‘ l ,__ 64 recogn\tion, by asserting that - hie actionin the
7r thus far bad Peen under,the Constitution and
i bLhder the law. This dui not only '
appear
fhl 6 but contemptible.
\content knew how Gen. Grant stood and
C ÜBA.
what he was likely to do. Gen. ,Grant hid
sought Lim to tell_ him,, and thus remove him
from any false irepOssion which previous inter
vices might have engendered. If the President
'did not want General Grant to give up
the oflice; why did he not then and
there give him an order to that effect.
Gen. Grant would then have befn, put in the
delicate position of deciding between disobeying
the outer of his Commander-In-Chief, or vio
lating the law as he understood it. Or why did
not'Mr. Johnson then then and there ask him for
his resignation, and put another man In his place
who could be used for his purpose? General
Grant would have complied as quick as pen
could write it, and the President had forty
eight hours in which to act after becoming
positively , aware of General Grant's position;
but he did nothing. lie was too slow; he hoped
to seduce Gen. Grant into the violation of a law
which he himself took especial care to observe.
The magnanimous offer assuming all pains and
penalties,which is paraded with so much unction,
was made In Cabinet meeting after all the danger
was over; then his Excellency was very brave;
then he was as fast to act as he was slow beforo;
then he was foiled and disappointed, and Gen.
Grant's broad shoulders are broad enough for the
blame. Firm as , Mr. Johnson is in any position
be may take, he Is proverbially slow to think and
slow to act Ho thought very slowly about the
Cox proposition, which such keen intellects as
Reverdy Johnson saw at a glance would solve
the whole question, and In that he lost his chance.
The statement, said to be supported by the au
thority of Cabinet Ministers, that General Grant
admitted at the Cabinet meeting on Tuesday, the
14tb, that he had 'agreed to hold on until re
moved, I pronounce totally false. General Grant
at that meeting reiterated what he said , to Mr,
Johnson the previous Saturday, and Mr. John
eon himself admitted that; but be justified him
self by saying, in substance, that he did not be
lieve General Grant was going to do as he said.
Gen. Grant did say on that' occasion (Tuesday)
that he bad agreed with the President as to what
the effect would be in case ho remained in the
office after the Senate had re-instated Mr. Stan
ton; that Mr. Stanton would of cows° be obliged
to resort to the courts to assert his claims; but be
never made any promise to the President that he
would so remain and thus become a party to the
controversy. A subsequent examination of the
law convinced him of the course he should pur
sue, and fortpeight hours before the Senate
acted, he waited upon Mr. Johnson of his own
volition and announced his determination. This
is all of it; there is no prevarication nor dupli
city about it; it is reasonable and business-like—
in brief, it is Grant-like.

King Theodore's Pedigree.
The following Is King Theodore's pedigree ac
cording to his own account:
"PROCLAMATION
- .
"In the name of the Father, and of the Son,
and of the Holy Ghost, one God.
"The King of Kings, Theodore, crested by the
Trinity its servant. Installed by It and made
Prince, to his children given to him by God, and
all the Franks (Europeans).
"By your God and the God of your friend The
odore, who appeared to Moses on Mount Sinai
and in the Red Sea, who appeared to Joshua at
Jericho, who, through his servant Samuel, an
rtthiteci tsaui when ite - was - seeking the
asses that were lost, who, when Saul turned
from his Creator, commanded Samuel to anoint
David.
"Solomon was king after David according to
the word of the prophet and of his father, not
witlatanding that Adonias (Adonljah), against
the will of God, was proclaimed King by the
people and obtained favor in their sight. Solo
mon, by the Queen of Azyed (the south-east),
begat Meuilek. who became King of Ethiopia.
From Menilek down to the dynasty of the Gallas,
all the kings were atage-pla:yers (azmari), who
sought from God neither wisdom nor strength,
but, with His help, the means of raising np the
Empire were found, when God. eilogrue,
servant, to be King.
"My countrymen, 'the river is dried up, its
bed 18 empty,' and they insulted me because my
mother is poor,
and called me the son of a beggar.
But the Turks knew the greatness of my father,
who made them his tributaries as far as the fron
tiers of Egypt, and to the gates of their cities.
My father and my mother descended from David
and from Solomon, and they are also of the seed
of Abraham, the servant of God.
"Now those who insulted me with the name of
a beggar's son are themselves beggars, and beg
for their daily bread. Without God's will,
neither wisdom nor power can save from ruin.
Nevertheless, as God said unto Adam, 'ln the
sweat of thy face thou shalt eat bread,' it is ne
cessary not to fall Into slothfulness. But it is
needless for me to give you this advice; for, as
the proverb says, 'speak not of wisdom to the
sage. neither cut the food of a lion.' •
' "There is nothing powerful in the world.
Many have bad mortars and cannons in abun-
dance, and nevertheless have. succumbed. Na
poleon bad myriads of them, yet he died con
quered, after having subjugated the Franks.
Nicholas,'Emperor of the Muscovites, posgessed
them in abundance, and he was vanquished by
the French, the English, and the Turks, and died
without having accomilished the desire of his
heart.
"If in vonr countries you meet with any par
tisans of brigand Negusye, who shall say,
like the traitors of this country, that . Ethiopia is
governed by the son of a beggar, wager with
them a field covered with gold that I, the present
Emperor,
am on the throne of my fathers, Abrp,
ham and David, and bring them here to be con
fronted with me.
"It is God 'that hath put down the mighty
from their seats, and exalted them of low de
gree."

ettllttnate,tvtlitt an American Accent.
The London correspondent of the New York
Times has this paragraph :
After all, the panic points to America as the
source of danger. Every troublesome desperado is
presumed to be an American. For example, a
man up for stealing a rifle in Manchester, and
wbo had a fight with the policeman In- court, is
said to have "struggled violently with the officer,
and blasphemed in a strony American "accent, anti
in the most awful terms." - The reporter gives - a
specimen of the manner and language of the sup
posed American. The struggle in the dock goes
on:
Magistrate—Gently, Garner; don't use more
violence than Is necessary. -
Prisoner (to Garner)—Get out of the dock, you
you've no business here. I won't tolerate
your conduct any longer. You -- dogs, you've
abused me every way since I've been here. I'll
knock one of their heads off in a minute, the
infernal wretches ! Who the are you?
Hero the prisoner, who was evidently a
man of desperate character and great strewth,
attempted to close wlth the Inspector, but Gar
ner was too quick for Lim.
Magistrate (to the prisoner)—Prlaoner, look
here; you've been behaving very improperly all
the time the case has been going on, and if you
do not remain quiet, I must take theease in your
absence.
Prisoner—Then let the wretches treat me bet
ter; the infernal doge? Who's going to be bum-
Imaged by you (to Inspector Garner again)?
Magistrate—Ltt him stand up, Garner. If he
.assaults an officer- in-tho-deek you-kuow-what4o
do with him.
The prisoner again broke out swearing horri
bly, and was about to close again with the In
ept ctor.
Magistrate—Let him be removed. To the pri-
Foner : You are , remanded for a week, beciu.e
ypu are not in a right frame of mind to conduct
your case properly.
The prisoner was .then forcibly taken to the
cells below Th court, yelling end strugglink with
much violence. - AS-he was toeing dragged out of •
the dock he exclaimed, "I'll shoot the lot of you
—the whole lot!"
There was considerable commotion In the
gallery while this•seene was going on.
The man was evidently a. Yorkshire poacher,
burglar, returned convict, perhaps, but certainly
not Mt American. As to the tteeent,' there are;
thousands of people in the northern counties of
England vvho would pass for Yankees.

LATER FROM WASHINGTON,
DEATH OF OEN. PETER FORCE.
THE ADMISSION OF COLORADO
WASHINGTON, January 24.-Deep regret is
everywhere expressed to-day at the death of
General Peter Force, in his 78th year, which oc
curred last night. Ile Was a native of New Jer
sey, but had been a resident of Washington since
1815. Ifs was universally honored and venerated
in this elty,with the interests and honor of which
for more than half a century of his life he was so
largely identified.
Private advices from Cincinnati say that the
forthcoming meeting of the officers of the Army
of the Cumberland, on the 6th of February, will
be generally attended. A large number of the
general officers of that army have already sig
nified their Intention to be present. Half-fare
arrangements have been completed with the
principal roads centering in Cincinnati.
Representative Pile, of Missouri, rising to a
personal explanation in the House, concerning
remarks previously made by him, said he had in
tended ,to assert that the firm of which Dr. Fow
ler, of Illinois, was a member, dissolved in 1864,
before the charges of fraud were made against it.
Personally he knew of nothing derogatory to
the character of either of the members of the firm•
[Peter Force was born in New Jersey, Nov:
26, 1790. He removed to Now York when a
child, became a printer,. and resided there until
November, 1816, when he went to Washington,
D. C. From November 12, 1823, to February 2,
1830, he fpublished in that city the National
Journal, a political newspaper, which was the
official journal during the administration
of John Quincy Adams. From 1836
to 1840 he was Mayor of Washington,
and was afterwards President of the National
Institute for the promotion of sciences. In 1833
he made a contract with the government for the
publication of a documentary history of the
American Colonies, of which nine or ten volumes
have appeared, , under the, title of "Ameri
can Archives." This- work has ocr
cuplei Mr. Force for thirty years, and in
its prosecution he has gathered a collection of
books, manuscripts, maps and papers relating to
American history which, in completeness and
value, is not equaled by any other collection in
the world upon the same subject. This collec
tion we believe will now become the property of
the United States government.--IEo. BULLETIN.
The Admission of Colorado.
[Special Deapateh to the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin
WasurnoroN, January 24th, 1868.
At the meeting of the Senate Committee on
Territories this morning the subject of admitting
Colorado as a State was under consideration,
and Messrs. Chaffee and Evans, Senators elect
from Colorado, appeared before the committee,
and were examined at some length as to the pre-
Bent resources of that territory, the condition of
affairs there, and her fitness to become a State.
From the evidence elicited it appears that the
population in Colorado has increased several
thousand since the bill admitting her was vetoed
by the President. The parties here favorable to
her admission expect to have the subject brought
before Congress at an early day,and it is thought
the former bill can again be passed by over a
two-third vote.
The further consideration of the case of Isaac
L. Gibbs, nominated as Goveinor of. Idaho Ter
ritory, was postponed by the Committee on
Territories until next Monday,
Sex FRANCLSCO, Jan. 23.—Late advices from
Arizona state that General Palmer, the Southern
Pacific Railroad Surveyor, expreeses the opinion
that the road will be built on the 85th parallel.
He reports that the parties surveying the Gila
route may possibly change the route to the 32d
parallel, but this 1.3 thought doubtful. Gen. Palmer
bus placed a corps of surveyors on the line from
Techachapee to San Francisco, and sent back a
party of engineers from the Colorado river to
correct the survey of the 35th parallel to the Rio
Grande. It is the intention of General Palmer to

At Chicago:
Most of the discount houses engaged in the groin trade
report a good strong demand for accommodation, but
with the mercantile banks the inquiry is of a moderate
charaeter. The country banks are checking with more
liberality, and balances show a falling off. In the aggro.

. U. S. Supreme Court.
W.Aam.Notkoo, .Jan. 24.--I'n the Supreme Court
to day the Cause No. 6, original, the State of
Texas vs. White, Childs et al., was argued on the
motion to dissolve' the injunction heretofore
granted restraining the defendants from using or
disposing of certain U. S. bonds obtained - by
them from the rebel military board at the out
break of the rebellion. The motion to dis
solve is based upon the ground that
the State of Texas is not aBtate in
the Union, and that she is not therefore entitled to
appear as complainant In any action : ln' the Fede
ral courts. The point is taken that Congress
having determined that Texas Is not lathe Union
for the purposes of representation '
She is nota
State in the Union fer the purpose of a Butt : in
this court.

NA.—The Chair laid before the Senate a
message from the President, returning Mr.
Thayer's resolution in regard to . Seddon, the
retie' Secretary 'of War, which was referred to
the Committee on Military Affairs.
Also, replying 'to the resolution of inquiry,
whether the bill to secure equal rights in, the Dis
trict of Columbia had become a law.
Mr.Edmunds (Vt.)said It was manifest that the
President's construction was entirely wrong, and
that legislation would be Very much impeded "if
Congress acquiesced In it. It was not a party
question and he hoped they would consider, it
impartially:
No person who had examined an opinion on
a similar subject, pronounced by .the Bd=
Court in New Haven, at the request of the
lature, would be satisfied that that construction
was erroneous, and would, if adopted, lead to
serious inconvenience. He moved to refer it to
the Judiciary Committee.
Mr. Johnson (Add.) was inclined to agree with
the Senator. Thp constitution of New Hamp
shire was similar to that of the United States,
except in the limitation of five days instead of
ten. He also thought It desirable that the ques
tion should be decided at once.
4/2.fiC0,000

Mr. Buckslew (Pa.) thought Congress had
committed itself to the President's construction,
haying•repassed a blll remaining in the Presi-
dent's hands in the same manner.
- .
Mr. Sumner (M
ass.) was glad to know that it
would be considered by the Judiciary Committee.
Re denied that any significance lay in the fact re
ferred to by Mr. Buckalew, he having intro
duced such bill merely to facilitate its passage.
Referred to the Jiidiciary Committee.
Hot:sr.—Mr. Chanter (N. Y.) asked leave to
offer a resolution reciting the facts in relation to
the deaths on board the emigrant ship Leibreutz,
and providing for the appointment of a Select
Committee of nine to inquire into the means or
preventing such evils for the future.
Mr. Spalding (Ohio) objected to any Select
Committee.
Mr. Chanter moved to refer the matter to the
Committee on Commerce.
Mr. Spalding , had no objections to 'that.
The resolution thus modified was then offered
and adopted.
Mr. Washburne, from the Committee on Ap
propriations, reported the. regular Naval Appro
priation-• bill. Ordered tb be recommitted and
printed. The bill appftspriates between eighteen
and nineteen millions.
In connection with - the bill, Mr. Washburn
presented a report in the form of a tabular state
ment. He stated his object in having the bill re
committed. It was that the Committee on Ap
propriations might be examined in connection
with the reeked estimates sent in by the Secre
tary of the Navy,• whose original estimates
amounted to between 47 and 48 millions of dollars.
Mr. Butler (Mass.) suggested that In addition
to that the Secretary of the Navy had on hand
an uneApended balance of $15,000,000.
Mr. Wasbburno assented to that statement.
The Committee, he said, deemed the amount
reported in the bill sufficient to meet every emer
gency of the naval service. He called attention
to the fact that by this bill, reported by a Repub
lican Committee of a. Republican Congress; the
estimates orieinally sent in by a Democratic
!Secretary of the Navy of a Democratic Adminis
tration were reduced from between 47 and 48
millions of dollars to 18 or 19 millions.
Mr. Spalding thought it should be stated, in
justice to the Secretary of the Navy, that that
officer bad revised his original estimates, and re
duced them to twenty-five millions.
Mr. Washburn° said he had been about to state
that fact. It was for the purpose- of examining
the bill in connection with those revised esti
mates that he had moved the recommittal of
the bill.

tion of over 1,000 citizens of Norwich, Connec
